Demonstration of neutron-yield enhancement by laser preheating and magnetization of laser-driven cylindrical implosions

Journal Article Peebles, J. L. ; Davies, J. R. ; Barnak, D. H. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) is a fusion concept that uses magnetized, preheated fuel to reduce the implosion velocities and convergence ratios required for ignition. A scaled, laser-driven experimental platform to study MagLIF has been demonstrated on the OMEGA laser system, providing comprehensive experimental data on MagLIF scaling, utilizing the higher shot rate on OMEGA compared to the Z machine. Using this platform, a broader experimental space for MagLIF has been studied. Presented in this article are experimental results that demonstrate that the combination of preheat and magnetization enhances the neutron yield by 470% compared to a reference implosion, significantlymore »« less

Neutron yield enhancement and suppression by magnetization in laser-driven cylindrical implosions

Journal Article Hansen, E. C. ; Davies, J. R. ; Barnak, D. H. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

In inertial confinement fusion, an externally applied magnetic field can reduce heat losses in the compressing fuel thereby increasing neutron averaged ion temperatures and neutron yields. However, magnetization is only beneficial if the magnetic pressure remains negligible compared to the fuel pressure. Experiments and three-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of cylindrical implosions on the OMEGA laser show ion temperature and neutron yield enhancements of up to 44% and 67%, respectively. As the applied axial magnetic field is increased to nearly 30 T, both experiments and simulations show yield degradation. For magnetized, cylindrical implosions, there exists an optimal magnetic field that maximizes themore »« less

Inferring fuel areal density from secondary neutron yields in laser-driven magnetized liner inertial fusion

Journal Article Davies, J. R. ; Barnak, D. H. ; Betti, R. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A technique to infer the areal density ρR of compressed deuterium (D) in cylindrical implosions from the ratio of secondary D–T (deuterium–tritium) neutrons to primary D–D neutrons is described and evaluated. For ρR to be proportional to the ratio of D–T to D–D yield, the increase in the D–T fusion cross section with collisional slowing of the tritium must be small, requiring where TkeV is the electron temperature in keV. The technique is applied to results from laser-driven magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) targets on OMEGA, where ρR is certainly less than 4 mg/cm².
